Trump is not a friend he is an enemy to Canadians and to us in the U.S.

Trump doesn’t have the guts to stand up to our enemies so he picks fights with our friends. I’m so sorry Canada! ?? Hopefully we can get past this dark period.

All this talk about fentanyl. Come on Justin, do the funniest thing ever. Send MAID care packages to every Trump donor. Why hurt your friends in Buffalo when your enemies are so incredibly self destructive?

It is a very dumb thing indeed. If China comes in throwing a lifeline to Canada and Mexico, America will have an enemy right at its door

Who needs an enemy with a friend like the United States?

Under Trump Canada became our enemy and Putin became our friend.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?

With 'friends' like Canada who needs enemies.

Russia isn’t Americas enemy. Biden made them the enemy. We want the strongest allies and the allies who can provide to us and in return provide to them. Canada and the EU just sucks at our teet. Russia doesn’t and we benefit more being allies with them

Trump, the republicans,evangelicals the complicit media and corporations are all embarrassments and active enemies of the United States and the people of all nations(except Russia) this is what happens becomes to complacent to vulture capitalism and historic levels of corruption and embraces an anti intellectual and racist stance on almost all issues.

This dude trump is bugging... He is crashing out and creating all kinds of issues and enemies...

India, china, russia n now USA is DUSTBIN TRUDEAU's enemy

Hi guys i just woke up from a 20 year old COMA.... Whats happening.? is Canada our enemy now? IN WHAT WORLD?

Trump is owned by Putin and is willing to be enemies with allies for him. It’s a very selfish move.

Hey listen… maga is an enemy of the American Republic.

that is the cost to be the us follower against china . so this matter is not strange. Be the us enemy or friend is the same.

THE USA IS OUR ENEMY NOW !!!!!!!!!

Trump is a genius at making new enemies. Including within his own country

Your best friend is your best enemy

He’s a complete total moron, but he’s not stupid now that there’s a common enemy it’s his chance of redemption.

The US creating its own dawnfall, who needs external enemies when you have inner idiots ?

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

Russia is not the enemy u maroon ??

I can't help but notice the overwhelming support in the comments for the Canadian stance. Tragically many Canadians now consider the USA to be approaching enemy status.

I am Canadian. My heart breaks for Canada. The US always being our ally, now it will become our enemy only because of one man's unjustified and irrational move. God help us!!

As a European I must agree with Wesley Clark. Things have changed a lot since he took office. Most people here sees the US more as an enemy than an allied now! Let that sink in MAGA people if you can... He has made everything upside down. Supporting Russia WTF? We knew he was insane, but this is getting way out of hand! \nThis is not going to make america great again (what utter BS). Instead every history book in the future will talk about the time when the US went mad and lost its way, losing all credibility and trust it ever gained.

Justin threaded the needle very well... as Churchill said, diplomacy is telling your enemy to go to hell in such a way that he would welcome the trip.

Putin's dream: Destabilize the close relationship of the US. border countries. What better first step to weaken their enemy? Putin is so much smarter than DJT. BTW, he called him Donald as speaking to an equal. Treudeau and Trump are equals.

Trump needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that we need to fight the enemy and not our allies

As a Canadian it makes me so sad to see our relationship destroyed. I always felt like we were cousins and would always stick together and help each other. This is a sad day. Our enemies have won today. Very sad day

All rrump talks about is how Canada has wronged America and makes us out to be the enemy. He never says be wants to work together as friends and buisness partners

It takes a very evil person to try and turn Canada into an enemy while turning Russia into an ally.

How many times Donald declared bankruptcy? Looks like under him his country will go bankrupt. He is becoming friends with Putin, who is everyone's enemy and turning his friends and allies into foes. I was happy when he came to power and now I am sad for everyone including the Americans.

As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

Trump will make America great....enemy of the world ?

It's hilarious they keep being flabbergasted about Trump doing things that their enemies want, because that's exactly who he is working for. He does not care about Americans or Canadians or anyone at all except his cronies and his group of Russian-led oligarchs, and making themselves all even richer than they already are off the backs of the working classes everywhere. He is working for the enemy, which is precisely why it looks for all the world like he's working for he enemy. Figure it out!

I don’t need Canadian Whiskey or Maple Syrup. Welcome 51st State. \n\nEurope is still buying Russian oil , while giving loans to Ukraine. Funding both sides of destruction. Make that make sense. Keep your friends close and enemies closer.

Oh man, 2 months in the seat and he has already become enemies with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, China, Mexico, Greenland and...and allied with Russia. ? - Wait until 4 years has passed. The world will have turned upside down and inside out before this orange checks out. Let's see how happy the Americans will be after a time choosing this maniac. Huge misstake. Huge.

Because of trump our country just make an enemy with our border country. The orange ugly face must go, yes I am talking about trump and his people. We are not and will not support people allied with dictatorship like putin.

Trump is the disappointment .... give us 25% . The good country is stable. And also about the drugs and ilegal alians ...is nothong to do with Canada. But Trump says so . And also say i love Canada, and you can clearly see on he's face looks like is one big enemy of Canada .. Trump playimg same and even more stupid game as 2018, and many American did suffer, and he's doing things again, going up all ready, but Trump promised to be down and even Ukraine War will end in one Day..... woow what the idiot

Donald Trump is out of his mind making enemies with other countries, and Trump still won't admit that Vladimir Putin started the war with Ukraine.

justin is member of deep state & illuminati they dont want peace with the enemy, they want to crush usa & the leader that is not member of deep state & illuminati, they brainwash people to not believe in peace talks

Im old enough to remember when Russia was the enemy...i believe Reagan called them the evil empire...and a few decades later conservatives are all friendly with Putin

To be an enemy of the United States is sometimes dangerous but to be a friend is always fatal! ?

Speak on it Mr. Trudeau! True U.S. Patriots hear you! Trumpski and his Russian groupies are indeed the Enemy within!

Trump is putting US National Security in big danger by making its biggest allies and closest neighbors its enemy # 1. \nCongratulations to Putin, he really manipulates Trump to create chaos and disintegrate the best alliance in the World.

USA is the biggest enemy to the rest of the world. They are literally Russia

Trump is incredibile at uniting people. Never before have I seen so many people of such opposite beliefs and political opinion unite against one common enemy.

Trump is putins puppet ,orders from Moscow taken and acting according to the orders.No more beating around the bush.He is the worse enemy USA has and he is in the Oval Office.God help us all.
